Product changelog

Published 4 October 2026

Starting a session is now a simple, step-by-step flow, and hosts can share classrooms, reuse their best sessions as templates and spot copy-and-pasted answers more easily.

### Nurture Signal

#### New

-   **Co-hosts**: Share a classroom by email, even before a colleague has an account, so they can help run it and all of its sessions.
-   **Templates**: Save a session as a template and start new sessions from it. Share templates privately, with your school or by link.
-   **Class lists**: Add students to a classroom before they join a session. They’re marked “Not joined yet” in the Students tab and linked up automatically once they do.
-   **Pasted answers**: Pasted text in a student’s response is now flagged, so you can see which parts weren’t typed.
-   **Reasons**: Set a minimum and maximum length for the reason students give with quiz and poll answers. Students see a live counter as they type.

#### Improvements

-   **Starting a session**: A clear three-step flow now asks what you want to do, then how you want to run it, then helps you set it up. Options show whether they run live, self-paced or both.
-   **Navigation**: Hosts and admins get a collapsible side menu that’s quicker to move around. “Templates” is now called “Library”.
-   **Sharing**: The share dialog shows who can join, including guest access and due dates, and puts the sharing options first.
-   **Library**: Sharing options use your school’s own wording, such as “Everyone at my school”.
-   **Duplicating**: Duplicating a session follows the same rules as creating one.
-   **Pasted answers**: Highlights now appear only when you hover over or open the “Pasted” flag, keeping responses easy to read.
-   **Reasons**: An optional reason is no longer held to a minimum length.
-   **Answer grid**: Students who haven’t answered yet now sit at the bottom when sorting by who needs attention.
-   **Creating sessions**: Removed an extra region question from the session set-up flow.
-   **Link previews**: Shared session links always show a tidy preview card in chat apps.

#### Fixes

-   **Joining**: Fixed students seeing “Session Not Found” after signing in to join a session from a link.
-   **AI summaries**: Fixed the Summarise button offering itself again, while a summary was still being written, after switching questions.
